Its Halloween

There are a ton of photos in this post, but a lot of things have happened in the last two days.

We carved Evangeline's pumpkin with a drill. She pretty much told me where to cut and thats what I did. It kept flinging bits of pumpkin on her.

Of course, Irene was brought in for some consultation.

Irene later broke that glass cup.

Commence Halloween Costume Action!
Jack-o-lanterns are in place and costumes are donned.

We went over to Caroline's for a pre-trick-or-treating party.

Nicolo, Caroline, and Evangeline.

2/3 of these children speak Italian.


 These events led to actual trick-or-treating

Irene totally doesn't get it yet. She was under the impression that you were supposed to eat each piece of candy received upon its receipt. So, Evangeline looked back and saw what was happening, and had no choice but to go on with the crowd.

It was such a nice night out. 70 degrees. Leaves falling. A few inches of leaves on the sidewalk. Kids running around laughing. Perfect. This had to be captured on camera.

We don't know this kid. He was just method acting his ninja role.

And then I went to the aeropuerto to pick up Poppop, Grandma Aunt Carol, and Ammi.

They came to the front door with what were possible the scariest masks I've ever seen. Irene just kind of stared at them, and Evangeline was like "oh, hey, its pop pop."

And one of our chickens laid this monster egg the other day. Ouch.
